Change Award
“Be the Change You Wish to See In the World”
-Gandhi
In 2008, the Foundation introduced the “Change” award to recognize a nonprofit employee who is always willing to jump in and do whatever needs to be done for the organization that employs him or her. The individual should promote and/or coordinate efforts that are significantly beneficial to affecting positive change in our community.
It is important to know that this award was created to reward “background” workers and those hidden gems of nonprofits who don’t typically make the news, don’t get grants, and yet provide extraordinary service to the community.
The 2010 Change Award was given to Karen Navarro of St. Martin's Hospitality Center. In her honor, a $1,000 grant in her name was made to St. Martin's.
The 2009 Change Award was given to Katrina Owensby of New Life Homes. In her honor, a $1,000 grant was made to New Life Homes.
The 2010 Change Award Nomination Deadline is December 10, 2010.
